Shropshire golfer Oliver Farr has sights on Scottish success
Shropshire golf professional Oliver Farr was today aiming to register his first win of the Europro Tour season.
Farr, from Ludlow, leads the Eagle Orchid Scottish Masters going into today's third and final round.
He finished the second round two strokes ahead of second-placed Steve Uzzell at Montrose Golf Links yesterday, having shot 67 to lead on five under after 36 holes.
Farr is currently 16th on the EuroPro Tour Order of Merit and is one of the highest-ranked players yet to win an event this year.
With just this tournament and one at Moor Allerton in two weeks remaining before the Tour Championship, the Worcester Golf & Country Club man knows a victory would put him in a commanding position to finish in the season's top five, and with it earn his 2014 Challenge Tour card.
He said; "I have played really well over the last couple of days. I played some really good golf for my second round. I went a bit more aggressive yesterday and hit lots of drivers and it left me in some good places to make birdies.
"This course can hurt you but you can make some birdies and at the end of the day you have to make birdies to win golf tournaments."
